Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical fields of corner reflectors, radar interferometry and GNSS positioning, and in particular to a deformation monitoring device for a power transmission tower. Background Art
[0002] my country's energy and load are distributed inversely, and most of the important energy corridors are located in areas prone to geological disasters. my country has vigorously carried out the construction of ultra-high voltage transmission lines and the eastward transmission of western energy, and has built a large number of ultra-high voltage transmission towers. The geological environment in the western mountainous areas is complex, landslides and mudslides are frequent, and there are safety hazards in the transmission towers. It is very necessary to monitor the slope environment of ultra-high voltage transmission channels, timely discover early landslide hazards and implement protective measures. The above-mentioned transmission channels have poor traffic conditions. At present, manual line patrols and field geological surveys are difficult to track landslide hazard points on a large scale. At the same time, traditional point monitoring devices have limited observation ranges and high operation and maintenance costs. Satellite remote sensing technology has the advantages of large monitoring range, large amount of information and high efficiency. It provides a new idea for wide-area monitoring of slope disasters caused by power transmission lines. However, it also has problems such as much interference, low accuracy and difficulty in identifying complex environments, making it difficult to meet the requirements of line operation and maintenance. By integrating multi-source satellite remote sensing technology, real-time monitoring of tower deformation and stress state analysis technology, tower slope disaster remote sensing and ground sensor monitoring technology, a new technical system can be formed to solve the problem of wide-area monitoring of slope disasters caused by power transmission lines.
[0003] The existing wide-area geological disaster monitoring technologies along the transmission lines mainly include traditional manual ground measurement technology and satellite-based SAR interferometry technology. Manual ground measurement technology mainly includes electronic levels, total stations, GPS and wireless detection systems, etc., which obtain surface deformation information through single-point or networked measurement. These manual measurement methods can obtain high spatial resolution in small areas. For the geological disaster monitoring of the entire transmission line, the coverage area is large. The length of the inter-provincial transmission line is generally hundreds of kilometers, and some are more than one thousand kilometers. The settlement survey of the entire transmission line corridor using traditional manual ground measurement methods is generally based on years. The interval between each period of data is large, and due to its high cost, the spatial density of the measurement points is also limited, which will cause the problem of missed detection of high-risk geological bodies. The use of synthetic aperture radar interferometry to monitor large-scale geological disasters along the transmission line now mainly uses satellite data sources. Compared with artificial ground measurement technology methods, the satellite-borne interferometric SAR method has a large coverage area, high spatial resolution, and is easy to implement continuous monitoring of the target area. It does not require the establishment of a special monitoring network and is relatively inexpensive. It can be used for real-time monitoring all day, all weather, and periodically. It is currently the only practical method that can obtain large-scale (hundreds of kilometers) regional surface deformation information. In theory, satellite-borne interferometric SAR can obtain millimeter-level deformation and its rate distribution in a large area along the high-speed railway, tens of kilometers wide corridor, but due to the differences in atmospheric conditions and ground changes when acquiring SAR images at different phases, the decoherence between SAR images will be caused, which to a certain extent restricts the surface deformation monitoring capability of satellite-borne interferometric SAR.
[0004] The use of satellite-borne SAR technology can accurately monitor the movement of landslides in transmission line corridors, but on the one hand, there is a problem of decoherence caused by dense vegetation in the landslide area, and on the other hand, there are problems such as weak reflection energy of the tower target radar signal and inability to monitor the effective PS points on the tower. Installing artificial corner reflectors on the towers enables them to effectively adapt to satellite-borne SAR to carry out tower displacement monitoring and be compatible with Beidou monitoring technology at the same time, and realizes the monitoring of horizontal displacement, tilt deformation, etc. of transmission towers in geological disaster areas. This is one of the key technologies for the integration of Beidou satellites and radar remote sensing satellites to monitor the displacement of transmission towers.
[0005] When the existing corner reflectors for monitoring transmission towers (such as the corner reflector for monitoring the deformation of transmission towers disclosed in application number 202122724985.0) are used in satellite-borne SAR technology to monitor the movement of landslides in transmission line corridors, there will be incoherence caused by the dense vegetation coverage in the landslide area, and there will also be weak reflection energy of the tower target radar signal, which makes it impossible to monitor the effective PS points on the tower. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a transmission tower deformation monitoring device that can effectively adapt to satellite-borne SAR to carry out tower displacement monitoring and is compatible with Beidou monitoring technology at the same time, so as to realize the monitoring of horizontal displacement, tilt deformation, etc. of transmission towers in geological disaster areas.
